PBI Desktop has three main screens, Report, Data, and Model. It would be very useful to be able to open the Data or Model screens in a new window rather than paging over to it when selected.

When developing visualizations, and especially when dealing with many multiples of data-sets with dozens of source columns and then additional calculated columns, it is easy to loose track of which data is in each column. Being able to work on a visualization while having the data open in another window rather than flipping back and forth would make things much easier.

RE: Option to Open Data and Model in New Window

I agree this would be very useful!
Especially when using desktop on multiple screens. I usually keep multiple instances of desktop open if I'm working with a complex model but that always eats up memory.
